General information

Mikurajima (御蔵島) is located 200 km south of Tokyo and 22 km south of its neighbor island Miyakejima.
Its average is approx. 6 km and its area 20,58 km².
The highest point is the top of the Stratovolcano Mt. Oyama (御山) with 851 m whose last eruption happened more than 4100 years ago.

Due there are living only about 300 inhabitants and the limited number of visitors per night the nature remains almost untainted.

Mikurajima is famous for its wild Dolphins which have lived there since a long time.
